May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition, as 1 in 5 U.S. adults will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime. However, everyone is affected or impacted by mental illness through friends and family.

Throughout May, NAMI and participants across the country are raising awareness for mental health. Each year, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care. Each year, the movement grows stronger.

NAMI Palm Beach County will offer a series of educational talks in partnership with the Palm Beach County Library System. To see the schedule click HERE.

In recognition of May 2018 as Mental Health Awareness and Trauma Informed Care month, please share this resource widely and celebrate mental health activities throughout the month. The Weekend of Faith takes place on May 18-20. There are tips on how you can use this resource during that weekend.

CURE STIGMA

There is a virus spreading across America. It harms the 1 in 5 Americans affected by mental health conditions.
It shames them into silence. It prevents them from seeking help. And in some cases, it takes lives.
What virus are we talking about? It’s stigma. Stigma against people with mental health conditions.
But there’s good news. Stigma is 100% curable.
Compassion, empathy and understanding are the antidote. Your voice can spread the cure.
Join NAMI, together we can #CureStigma.
